on YouTube ↗28m

" summary

Gateway API positions itself as the successor to Ingress and claims concrete gains: explicit resources like GatewayClass Gateway HTTPRoute, multi‑protocol routes (HTTP gRPC TCP UDP), and a conformance scheme of core/extended/custom plus conformance profiles with automated test reporting. A live demo uses a kind cluster with Kuma control plane and Envoy gateway to apply a Gateway and HTTPRoute exposing a demo web app backed by Redis the gateway gets an IP and the counter app is reachable in a browser. The ecosystem lists 20+ implementations and active GA work.
